abstract = {{Formal specification is widely employed in the construction of high-quality software.
However, there is often a huge gap between formal specification and actual implementation.
While there is already a vast body of work on software testing and verification, the task
to ensure that an implementation indeed meets its specification is still undeniably of great
difficulty. ATS is a programming language equipped with a highly expressive type system
that allows the programmer to specify and implement and then verify within the language
itself that an implementation meets its specification. In this paper, we present largely
through examples a programmer-centric style of program verification that puts emphasis
on requesting the programmer to explain in a literate fashion why his or her code works.
This is a solid step in the pursuit of software construction that is verifiably correct according
to specification.}},
